- you say "wicked" "bubbler" "jimmies" or "grinder"  (northeast)
- youve skiied in weather colder than  -10 degrees fahrenheit... before windchill
- if you get snow before X-Mas, you got lucky
- if it doesnt faze you when the base is less than a foot at your mountain (or more likely, hill)

when your mountain claims 30 trails but in reality it only has 7

when your mountain claims 600 vert and its only 300 vert

when a double black is not that hard

when there is a 10:1 boarder to skier ratio

when the park consists of old rusted features with no take offs

when you can hold your breath for an entire run

when packed powder is really hard pack and hardpack is really ice

when you dont have a real crew to ride with

this is my home mtn^



but northern vt is a completely different story :)

when you turn through some soft snow(yes, it's 60 degrees in january) and you look down that you've uncovered a bunch of garbage. Then you look around to the flat wasteland around you, and see you're on the only hill. Youre on a landfill.

Also at said landfill, you ski down a run, and even though it's covered with snow, you can clearly make out the 6th hole on the golf course right under the orange lift.

you wait until march to learn new tricks so you can land in slush and not get hurt because you get no powder

it takes you 5 times as long to ride the lift as it does to go down the trail

you are super stoked when your park crew sets up a 6 foot flat bar

when  a powder day is like making turns in wet cement.  and 6 inches compresses to 2 by the time it stops snowing.

when they need to create the term loose granular for the condition report
